Acrodectes Peak, Mountain summit in Kings Canyon National Park, United States.
Acrodectes Peak rises to an elevation of 4,018 meters within the Sierra Nevada range, presenting steep slopes and granite formations that mark the landscape.
The first recorded ascent of Acrodectes Peak occurred in 1935 when mountaineer Norman Clyde and his expedition team reached the summit through challenging terrain.
The mountain received its name from the Acrodectes philopagus, a katydid species that scientists discovered in the surrounding California mountain ecosystem.
Climbers access the peak via the Baxter Pass trail system, requiring technical climbing skills to navigate the class 2 scramble route to the summit.
The peak maintains an isolation distance of 5.7 kilometers from its nearest higher neighbor, Black Mountain, creating a distinct geographical boundary in the region.
